A contentious bill that would require about two-dozen so-called crisis pregnancy centers to disclose that they don't offer abortions drew more than 50 abortion supporters and opponents to a City Council committee meeting Tuesday.

Members of the Committee on Women's issues on Tuesday weren't expected to vote on the bill, which has the support of Speaker Christine Quinn and the Bloomberg administration.
